Asians and Costco...

Wow, what a racist thread this is.

^ it does seem bad form. Perhaps it would be more acceptable under the guise of comedy.

With that here's my meaningless (just for Lulz) contribution on Costco:

It'd be the same if I said something like, I was just over at Target & there seemed an extraordinary amount of AA's grabbing the watermelons & chicken ~ racist stereotypes.

As for Asians being bargain hunters, who doesn't love a good bargain, & I love chicken & watermelon too, having that for dinner today, as a matter of fact, lol.

When it actually has nothing to to with that hooktard.

Fugg Lexi.... At the rate you are going you will be the new BA

While I do not always agree with Wakeup all the time, I took no offense to this thread, why does race have to be injected into everything. That's what's wrong with this fucking country, to much bullshit. Sorry for hijacking thread.

Well, L4b, I have a sense of humor (when something is actually funny), the things I have posted on lately just haven't been funny, except maybe the grapefruit, but even then when I posted, someone wanted to take that to a downward spiral.

I actually was with an Asian guy for over 20 years, so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about. Perhaps I'm a sensitive person, but I don't like racism and don't think it's funny. Now, Wakeup will likely say that he wasn't being racist, just making a simple observation, but a few of the comments that followed I felt had a really racist/stereotypical tone.

You know I have nothing against you L4B, so please look for you next BA elsewhere.

Lexi,

You are just as fucked up.

Why do AA guys get bent out of shape at the NBA policy in endless threads, etc. Maybe the nation is overly sensitive, I don't really see that changing anytime soon, but why start a thread about Asians at Cosco, if not to stir things up (which Wakeup is well known for by the way)? Nothing really new, it just popped out at me today, because of my history with the Asian culture.

Lexi,

It is your liberal attitude.

Okay, that's an odd thing to say considering where we are, rofl. Also, pretty positive I have never disclosed my political beliefs one way or the other & there's a reason for that.

I would be interested in knowing how you've come to conclusion that I'm a liberal though? Is it the fact that I said I dislike racism & Obama is president? Was with an Asian guy for 20 years, lol? Truly, I'd like to know.
